I FREELY ACCEPT AND FULLY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND LOSS RESULTING THEREFROM.

HELMETS - I acknowledge that Helmets are mandatory during participation in Special Events. I understand that a helmet designed for recreational snow sports may reduce the risk of some types of head injuries. I recognise that serious head injury can occur even when a helmet is worn.


COMPETITIONS

I freely accept and fully assume all such risks, dangers and hazards and the possibility of personal injury, death, property damage or loss resulting therefrom.

I AM AWARE OF THE RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS OF PARTICIPATING IN SPECIAL EVENTS AND I FREELY ACCEPT AND FULLY ASSUME ALL SUCH RISKS, DANGERS AND HAZARDS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR LOSS RESULTING THEREFROM
